Pirate, We have not noticed or had negative comments on the thin crust being cooked without a screen. I have used the same procedure with the hand tossed style for our own lunch pizzas and there is no difference other than no “hole bumps” created from the screens. When we looked at both versions...

Thanks for the replies. Let me provide further clarification. One of my crusts which I offer is a thin. I make the thin on a coroplast board and put cornmeal on it to slide it in my conveyor oven, we don’t cook the thin on the board, we just use it as a transfer means. When it comes out we use...

Hi all, I would like a little insight and thoughts as to my dilemna. I currently use Lloyd Screens for my hand tossed crust. They are great and work wonderfully. I am considering using a wooden peel to make the pizzas on busy nights so we don’t have a conglomeration of screens everywhere...

Just Remember, We might as well look at life with a smile and learn to enjoy what we have, cause we’re not getting out alive. Bubba

Nick, What about putting the disposable pan inside the s/s pans. Cook your food then remove it and wrap it. This way the sides are straight while they cook. Just a thought. Bubba

You need to change out the orifice. LP gas and natural have different densities. I have done this on a smaller lincoln 1132. It is a kit you buy. Bubba

Think about how to market to new folks who may not have tried you before. Go to Costco or Sam’s club and buy cases of water for cheap. Then ask your drink vendor, Coke or Pepsi, to make a banner that says “FREE WATER WITH EACH PIZZA SLICE” Have a few wet naps, the kind that you get at a BBQ...

Nick, When you look at raw costs, foam wins. However, if you buy the real cup, soap and water is less than everything else. No shelf space used vs labor to wash hard platic cups. Down the road, you can always get a foam squat cup for your delicious soups or cold desserts. Bubba

It does sound like a long time. However Dominoes avg time between customers is 38 days. Others I have spoke with is around 48 to 52 days. Of course you have those that come in every week and others who are hit and miss. I do a database mailing monthly for the previous 2 months. It is amazing the...

The typical rule of thumb on rent is 4-10% of net sales. If you are at 12%, you will find it extremely difficult to be very profitable with this rent amt. You also are selling a low cost product, which also relates to lower profit dollars. Any chance on having rent concessions? Typically, most...

I can relate and fully understand what you are feeling, when you get those calls, we all can. However, I have a different thought. When someone calls or stops in-we are given the ultimate compliment…their (repeat) business. They are probably going to order something 99% of the time. They have...

I have been searching and cannot find the reference someone made for putting sauce on wings. I use a conveyor oven and am considering cooking raw wings once and then add sauce as I cook them the 2nd time. Did I remember correct that it was about 4 oz for 12 wings? Thanks Bubba

I spoke with his wife earlier today and she said he is fine but very busy. Bubba

It all in the name. When the gas or electric company or anyone else, charges for credit card usage, they are calling it a “service” or “convenience” charge. They are trying to offset credit card usage fees. They will tell you that it takes extra time and personnel to process credit cards more...

I tend to think differently from most folks…so I’m told. However, why would you want to drop a smaller size instead of a larger one? Years ago I used to really push the fact that I had a 17" xl pizza and the customers would buy one of those instead of 2 large or med. I quickly realized that I...

It will be easier, cheaper and much less hassle to contact the proper agencies and set up payment arrangements. You do not want to try to “fool” the govt agencies of whom you owe. They have far more reaching arms than you can possibly imagine. Bubba

Nick, Just curious, how much of an open bar tab were they given anyway? 🙂 bubba

If you have the opportunity, talk to the previous owner. If he is behind in rent, he probably signed over the equipment to the landlord in exchange. The LL may mark it up. See what his take is on why he went out. Is there a possibility you would keep his recipes and procedures and possibility...

Why would you want to open a pizza rest. in a closed down unit? And no the answer is not that you have better pizza and can do it faster than the previous owner or you make great pizza at home and all your family and friends think you rock!! You need to look at the proper demo. and households...

Grab an umbrella, here comes the rain. I tend to side on being conservative. So…the first thought I had when I read your post was great sales!! The second thought was you are still in what I call the honeymoon period. Your sales will drop off-not much we hope- in a few more weeks and level off...
